How do you handle cable management? (lemm.ee)

I work from home and I’m going to school so I spend a lot of time at my desk. I can’t work if it’s cluttered and these cables are driving me crazy.

I built a custom desk using IKEA countertop and file cabinets that runs the full length of my wall. One half is for computer and one half is for other projects that need space!

I love it except the cables are wild and have a mind of their own. I’ve been researching methods so I was wondering:

How do you manage cables?

PS! All your stations have been awesome so far. I’m jealous!

Ikea sells a cable run you can screw into the bottom of your desk. 5m of velcro tape is like $5 on AliExpress. I also use some "3M" cable ties that stick to the bottom of my desk, also from AliExpress.
